Custom Parameters for Initializing Embedded Web Area
Since the embedded web area utilizes CEF as its web browser engine, there have been requests for a method to incorporate additional CEF switches, like the autoplay-policy switch, during the area initialization.
Starting with 4D 20 R6, you can manage your custom parameters using a parameter file.
4D Netkit: Customizing OAuth 2.0 Connection Interface
Some of you may need to manage the display of the connection interface during an OAuth 2.0 connection for design or technical reasons. From 4D 20 R6, you can choose not to automatically open a web browser to display the connection interface but use the authenticateURI to display it where you like.
In this blog post, we’ll walk through an example of opening the Microsoft login interface within a web area.
Using Classes Across Components
Component developers frequently require the utilization of a class from another existing component.
With 4D 20 R6, when a component has a declared namespace, its classes are now accessible to all components loaded in the host project via cs.namespace.
4D Netkit: OAuth2.0 authentication using a certificate
Several OAuth 2.0 servers, like the Microsoft Identity Platform, provide an authentication option utilizing certificates instead of client secrets. This approach enhances security and authentication mechanisms within the protocol. Starting from version 4D 20 R5, Netkit incorporates OAuth 2.0 certificate-based connection management.
4D View Pro: Enhancement of Custom Functions
Sometimes, you may require specialized calculations on the contents of a column or row without knowing how many cells will be affected.
With 4D 20 R5, you can now pass multiple cells ranges to a custom formula within your spreadsheet formula, such as “A1:C10”, or an object such as “OBJECT(“Firstname”,B2,”Lastname”,C2)”,and retrieve a collection or an object containing all cell content in your 4D method.
4D Netkit: Append an email with Gmail
There may be times when you find it necessary to keep an email as a template inside a designated label in your mailbox. With the release of 4D 20 R5, we have introduced a feature that allows you to add an email to a mailbox without sending it.
Class property declarations and assignments on a single line
In 4D 20 R5, the streamlined property declaration now offers the convenience of initializing properties simultaneously with their declaration, akin to variable assignment.
This enhancement simplifies code readability and efficiency by allowing developers to declare and initialize properties in a single line. This facilitates smoother integration and reduces the need for separate initialization blocks. It optimizes development workflows and ensures code robustness across compilers and interpreters, promoting cleaner, more maintainable codebases.
4D NetKit: PKCE for OAuth 2.0
OAuth 2.0 is a cornerstone of modern authentication. Enter PKCE, a pivotal enhancement fortifying OAuth 2.0 against interception and replay attacks. With the introduction of the 4D 20 R5, we now offer seamless integration of PKCE into OAuth 2.0 authentication processes.
4D View Pro: What’s New in 4D v20 R4
With every release, the list of features in 4D View Pro continues to expand. And this feature release is no exception: 4D v20.2 and 4D v20 R4 come with a new version of SpreadJS, the v16.2, and a Ribbon update that is compatible with it.
Let’s explore the enhanced features introduced in this latest version.
4D Netkit: Assign Labels & Get Multiple Emails with Gmail API
